ESPN: Brett Favre is banged up, his QB rating has plummeted and
the New York Jets QB openly questioned his arm strength after his
most recent game. Cause for alarm? Not quite. "I don't know what
normal feels like," Favre said Wednesday. "As I tell people all
the time, friends and family who say, 'Hey how do you feel?' I
say, 'I can't complain,' considering this is 200-and-whatever
[consecutive] games. I feel about like I'm closing in on 40, and
I've been sacked or hit however many times. "That's not to say at
the start of training camp I felt like a million dollars. I'm
still going. I think we did win the game the other day. I think
that's the one stat that gets lost in all of this." That's true,
but Favre has looked far from spectacular the last three games,
with one touchdown pass and four interceptions. His QB rating in
that span hasn't been higher than 61.4, which it was for the Jets'
31-27 win over Buffalo on Sunday. All that has many wondering if
the 39-year-old Favre's shoulder is wearing down.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
